The Coordinator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Brig-Gen. Paul Boroh (retd), has stated that ex-Niger Delta militants will start receiving their stipends on Monday while appealing to the ex-militants in the region to shelve the plan to declare the Niger Delta Republic.
In a statement by Mr. Piriye Keyaramo ; “President Buhari attaches so much importance to the Amnesty Programme, which explains why the President in his inaugural address to the nation specifically promised to invest heavily in the projects, and programmes currently in place for the ex-agitators in the region.”
“President Muhammandu Buhari, is already putting together a youth development and empowerment package that would directly impact the ex-agitators and other youths in the region”.
Paul Boroh added that the Federal Government planned to improve the amnesty programme for the benefit of the 30,000 ex-militants and other youths in the region.
